Billionaire philanthropist Bill Gates issued a stark warning about AI's risks to employment and the human condition, saying that companies were barreling ahead with the technology with no larger plan for the massive upheaval it would cause. "Even under the best circumstances, the transition to this new AI era will be one of the most turbulent times in human history," he wrote in a 12-page essay published to his personal website Wednesday.

President Trump's plan to raise the debt limit through the end of his presidency before Republicans likely lose control of Congress is on shaky ground because of rising concerns over the national debt — which has reached $40 trillion.

FDA officials gave expedited approval to the first-of-a-kind pill, called daraxonrasib, that blocks a mutated protein that fuels tumor growth in more than 90% of pancreatic cancer cases.

Last month's Senate grilling of Dr. Anthony Fauci, if viewed by an audience that had not been subjected to years of propaganda, would be staggeringly strange. There were hissing accusations of lies, corruption, and megalomania; comparisons to sadistic Nazi scientists; and statements, as if of undisputed fact, that Fauci killed millions of people. The nation's most powerful Republicans, without any significant pushback, joined forces to shout down and criminally pursue the face of the COVID pandemic's health authority based on wild, speculative, and facile conspiracy theories. It all prompted a kind of deeply existential question: If this is how we now treat a onetime pandemic hero, what will happen the next time we face a similar public health crisis?...
